Carter Jonas Dealmaker: Bridget Partridge, Bidwells “Last year was a great year for both Bidwells and Cambridge, with the city demonstrating its continued resilience and significance within the UK economy. High-grade office and laboratory space is in high demand – at more than 1.3m sq ft for Cambridgeshire at the end of 2017 – with rents pushing up to record levels (£38 sq ft) by the end of the year. Both our office and industrial teams topped EG’s East of England annual deals competition tables, further cementing Bidwells’ position as market leader; I’m proud to be part of this team and look ahead with confidence that 2018 will be another successful year.” INDUSTRIAL 3 Church Street, Gloucester GL2 5RB ■ Size: 1,080 sq ft (100 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 01/04/2018 ■ Rent: £8,500 pa, three-year lease ■ Lessor’s agent: Kurt Wyman Surveyors ■ Lessee: Macro Meals .
